[New release] Simutrans-Experimental 4.6

July 05, 2009, 10:49:19 pm

A new release of Simutrans-Experimental is available to-day, version 4.6: see here for more information on how to get the new version. The new Windows binary can be downloaded here. The new Linux binary is expected to be available from the morning of the 6th of July onwards: see here for the download page.

This version fixes a few small but important bugs identified since the release of 4.5. More major changes currently in discussion regarding the routing have not been added to this version in order that a version that fixes the bugs (especially the electrification accounting bug) could be released promptly. A list of changes follows:

Changes

FIX: Convoys did not load to overcrowded capacity. (Bernd Gabriel)
FIX: Crashes when industries had a production of 0
CODE: Removed config.default from the git repository.
FIX: Incorrect accounting of purchase, upgrade and removal of way objects.
CHANGE: Graphs now optionally read left to right rather than right to left (Nathan Sampson). NOTE: This feature does not yet have a GUI implementation for selecting the option.

Feedback and testing

As ever, any feedback is very welcome: bugs fixed in this version are mostly those identified with help from bug reporters previously, to whom I am very grateful. Any feedback on performance, gameplay balance, and any differences in strategy required between Simutrans-Experimental and Simutrans-Standard, and any other relevant feedback, would be very much appreciated. Happy playing!
